Gene
KN1
Protein
Homeotic protein knotted-1
Organism
Solanum lycopersicum
Length

Function
Appears to be involved in meristem formation and in the regulation of leaf morphology. Misexpression makes the leaf more compound which is always associated with growth retardation and loss of apical dominance, resulting in dwarfed, bushy plants. Probably binds to the DNA sequence 5'-TGAC-3'.
Similarity
Belongs to the TALE/KNOX homeobox family.
